If you disagree with the findings of an Agreed Medical Examiner, what should you do?

Requesting clarification from the Agreed Medical Examiner is a prudent approach when there is disagreement with their findings. This option allows for direct communication and provides an opportunity to address any specific concerns or misunderstandings regarding the medical examination or its outcomes. By seeking clarification, you may gain additional insights or explanations that could resolve your questions or lead to a better understanding of the medical determinations made.

In contrast, simply seeking a second opinion may not always lead to resolution and could complicate the claims process, while filing a formal complaint unnecessarily escalates the issue. Accepting the findings as final without addressing the concerns would ignore potential substantial disagreements that could impact the claim outcome. Engaging with the Agreed Medical Examiner through a clarification request is a constructive first step to handle such disagreements effectively.
